FEATURED SOFTWARE TOOLS:
MPLAB® C18 (SW006011)
The MPLAB C18 compiler is a full-featured ANSI-compliant
C compiler for the PIC18 family of 8-bit MCUs. MPLAB
C18 is a fully integrated component of Microchip’s MPLAB
Integrated Development Environment (IDE), allowing source
level debugging with the MPLAB ICD 2 in-circuit debugger,
MPLAB REAL ICE™ emulator and MPLAB SIM simulator. A
FREE 60-day demo of the MPLAB C18 compiler is available
at: www.microchip.com/C18.
MPLAB® Visual Device Initializer (VDI)
MPLAB VDI graphically configures the microprocessor and
peripherals, and when complete, generates code usable
in assembly language or C programs. MPLAB VDI does
extensive error checking on assignments and settings, and
generates and error message if there are conflicts on any
resources. Download VDI with MBLAB IDE at:
www.microchip.com/MPLAB.
Application Maestro™ Software
A stand-alone module tool used to configure and
incorporate a range of pre-written firmware modules
into PIC®microcontroller applications. Using a graphic
interface, select one or more modules, then configure
the parameters listed. The Application Maestro software
generates code that can be incorporated into the
application project, using MPLAB IDE or any compatible
development environment. Download at:
www.microchip.com/applicationmaestro.
FEATURED DEMONSTRATION BOARDS:
High-Pin Count PIC18 Microcontrollers
(www.microchip.com/PIC18)
PICDEM™ HPC Explorer (DM183022)
This low-cost demo board is used
to evaluate the performance of High
Pin Count (HPC) 8-bit PIC18F series
microcontrollers. The board features a
PIC18F8722, which is the superset of
the entire 64 and 80-pin PIC18F general
purpose family. A daughter board (mezzanine) is also part
of the kit and allows different processors sharing the same
pin-out to be mounted and tested on the Explorer board.
PIC18 J-series Plug-in Modules (MA180011-16)
The HPC Explorer Board can also be used to evaluate the
PIC18 J-series 3V devices with the use of Plug-in Modules
(PIMs).
PICkit™ 2 PIC18J Demo Board (DM164120-5)
This ultra low-cost small demo board features the
PIC18F87J10 device. This board is used with the PICkit™ 2
Programmer (PG164120).
Low-Pin Count PIC18 Microcontrollers
(www.microchip.com/PIC18)
PICDEM™ 2 Plus (DM163022)
The PICDEM 2 Plus demonstrates the
capabilities of the 18, 28 and 40-pin
PIC18 and PIC16 devices. It can be
used stand-alone with a programmed
part and with MPLAB REAL ICE or
MPLAB ICD 2. The board has a
prototyping area, LCD display, piezo sounder driven by
PWM signal, RS-232, temperature sensor, 4 LEDs and 2
push button switches.
USB Interface (www.microchip.com/USB)
PICDEM™ Full-Speed USB Demo Board (DM163025)
The FS-USB evaluation board features the PIC18F4550
device with full-speed USB 2.0 operation (12 Mbit/s). The
demo board comes pre-loaded with a USB bootloader and
includes a 20 MHz crystal, serial port, voltage regulation
with the ability to switch from external power supply to
USB bus supply, expansion connector, compatible with the
PICtail™ daughter boards standard, temperature sensor,
potentiometer, 2 LEDs for status display and 2 input
switches.
PIC18F87J50 FS USB Plug-in Module (MA180021)
A simple USB Plug-in Module can be used to evaluate the
PIC18F87J50 family with the HPC Explorer Board. This
PIM includes a full-speed USB interface and automatically
adjusts the voltage to accommodate this 3V device.
ZigBee™ and MiWi™ Wireless Networking Protocols
(www.microchip.com/ZigBee)
PICDEM™ Z Demonstration Board (DM163027-4)
The PICDEM Z demo board is an easy-to-use ZigBee
wireless communication protocol development and
demonstration platform. The kit includes the ZigBee
protocol stack and two PICDEM Z boards, each with an
RF daughter card, and features Microchip’s MRF24J40
2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver and PIC18 high-
performance microcontroller. Both a ZigBee software
stack and a smaller MiWi protocol stack are available from
Microchip under a no-cost license agreement.
ZENA™ Wireless Network Analyzer Tool (DM183023)
Microchip’s ZENA wireless network
analyzer uses a simple graphical
interface to configure the free Microchip
ZigBee and MiWi protocol stacks.
Consisting of both hardware and
software, the ZENA wireless network analyzer is an IEEE
802.15.4 protocol analyzer that is capable of decoding
ZigBee and MiWi protocol packets.
